Infused with trauma-informed care , my practice is a sanctuary where safety, respect, and empathy are paramount in reconnecting your mind to your body. We understand the profound impact of trauma, and my therapeutic approach is designed to gently guide individuals back to a sense of wholeness and wellbeing. Through techniques that engage the body, we offer a path to recovery that honors the individual’s pace and process.

Body-centered therapy, deeply influenced by the pioneering work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, embraces this connection, offering a compassionate path to recovery for those affected by trauma. This approach integrates the wisdom of the body into the healing process, acknowledging how trauma can manifest physically and how addressing these manifestations can lead to profound healing.

Let’s embrace your best life together. We begin by exploring a situational problem, expand to include insight and meaning-making, and usher in healing and wholeness. As an empathic and imaginative person, I take the journey with you. I hold your fears and anxieties in a safe cocoon in which suffering can be transformed into vibrant life. I would like to help you learn to express yourself and create the kind of life you want to live. I am happy to be a part of the miracles of transformation and growth as you develop in ways you have always wanted to grow. By working with sorrow, suffering, and meaning-making, your imagination may open up and healing follows. The most meaningful part of my job is in those moments when we share a feeling of joy for the progress made along the way.
